GOAL : YOUR REAL ESTATE PROFESSIONAL
Serving Stuart Palm City Jensen Beach Hobe Sound and the treasure Coast areas for Luxury Ocean and waterfront, Condominiums and single family houses. Read more at
Serious and dedicated real estate professional with experience in residential and commercial
properties. Varied range of properties managed includes luxury to vacation, single, duplex, multi-unit, waterfront, and investment. Expert counseling and guidance to both Sellers and Buyers of properties in non-duress as well as foreclosure and strained credit positions – occasionally resulting in
personally acting as creditor in a lease-option sales, IRS Section 1031 Exchanges, Seller second mortgages, and even accepting unwanted personal property as commission in order to
accommodate difficult and tight offers.
I felt so strongly about service to clients and wanted to strengthen ethics in our industry that I decided to start my own real estate company, a RE/MAX franchise. Purchasing the most visible corner grouping of properties in my home town; I created this company starting in 1997 with only 3 agents and eventually sold the franchise in 2003 at the height of the market with 12 agents as we were challenging the area’s No. 2 office for sales position lead (the top 2 companies had over 40 agents each). The overwhelming success of my business was a direct result of my commitment to my clients and customers and the power of untold repeat business and referrals by those I had served.
The years 2000 and 2001 each resulted in over 80 homes I personally sold - followed by years 2002, 2003, and 2004 resulting in over 100 homes personally sold each year. Each of these years I was awarded the coveted Platinum Club designation which at that time was the highest production award you could receive. Additionally, each of these properties sales are not the sum of a team or company effort. I purchased my first house via land contract when I was 18 when interest rates were 18%. Since then I, along with my husband/partner, have fixed/sold numerous properties and owned and managed numerous rental units.
